3. Projects are due on December 8, 2014 in the PLC Cafe no later than 7:50am. Boards can not be turned in early either. Each child is to enter the cafe and find their names. Place your board only with your name. I do not want you to bring your project with you to the fair. The fair is designed for you to explain what you have done, not to do it again for the judges. Take lots of pictures and display your project on your board.

4. Practice what you would like to say for the judges. All students will be interviewed during their Science period. Know information like: 1. Why did you do your project? 2. What did you learn? 3. What would you change, if anything? 4. What problems did you find?
